137. Louis Simpson Invested GEICO Float on Behalf of Berkshire Hathaway

Recorded while hiking on a section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, part way up Provo Canyon. There's some wind and I have to breathe heavy because, well, I'm hiking at an elevation that looks down on Denver by 1000 feet. Except Denver is eight hours away. I'm also 1000 feet higher than Salt Lake or my beloved Provo, but they don't claim to be "Mile High."  Text of poemYou can read this poem's text at The Writer's Almanac.
